Will be Built.
Events are transpiring steadily io
the evolution of work manifesting it*
self at the Water- Power offices in this
city and at the scene of activities on
the Illinois shore. A progress can
be seen daily and the company ap
pears to be going ahead as rapidly
as possible under the existing condi
tions.
The Travelers Insurance Company
of Hartford had a local representative
at the company's office here yesterday
to discuss the proposition of insuring
the workmen against injury. Before
this big risk is taken by the insur
ance company the representative ask
ed for plans and specifications as to
building the dam and these will be
studied before a rate is given. As
has been previously stated, in a big
work of this kind, the company em
ploying the men And it to their ad
vantage to have these employes in
sured. With fifteen'hundred men at
work accidents of both a trival and
serious nature may be expected
every few days.
About Number of Men.
A rough estimate of the number of
men to be employed by about the first
of August was made by a man in the
water power offices here this morn
ing. He said that about 1,500 men In
ail would likely compose the force of
working men in six months time. How
ever, he says the number of men
employed in the work will be entirely
regulated by conditions which have to
be met. For instance, if the company
sees a long stretch of low water ahead
then more men" will be rushed to the
work and advances made as rapidly
as possible. On the other hand if
high water is encountered for any
lengthy period then the force will
necessarily have .to be diminished. In
all the above estimate appears to be
a good one and was made only after
a review of previous works of. this
nature.
More Bunks For Men.
D. H. Sage of Alexandria is busily
constructing another bunk house that
will serve as sleeping quarters for
twenty-five more. men. This hut is be
ing built back of Mr. Sage's dinning
room and will accomodate the new
men who are arriving daily. More
laborers are expected today in a
small consignment from St. Louis,
while twenty-five will come Thursday.
The company's office near the work,
which is the old O'Hara house, has
been moved about one hundred yards
above its old location. This office
is used by Dexter Cooper and Time
keeper W. P. Dedman and others of
the force who daily engage in active
work acrosB the river. It was neces
sary to move this house because the
quarry will soon work its way into
the hills, undermining the spot upon
Tfchich the house once stood. Some
distance up the small gully leading
from the quarry will be constructed
tie cement shed. This structure will
be needed in a short time as cement
will be found necessary in construct
ing foundations for the concrete mix
ers, compressers, etc.
Secretary-Treasurer J. P. Allen is
expected to return home from New
York City tomorrow morning after his
conference with Hugh L. Cooper.

EUROPEAN HAIR SCHOOLS
In Berlin, Paris, Vienna and other
European cities there are now regu
lar schools where the scientific care
of the hair is made a special study and
the teachers
in
these schools become
so skilled in tne knowledge of hair
that they can tell merely by the
touch whether it is in a healthy con
dition or not. They also know the
effects of different tonics on different
half or different restoratives on the
same hair.. It is thoroughly establish
ed that dyes ar© harmful to the hair.
All preparations claiming to restore
gray hair are subjected to the most
rigid tests. If found in the least de
gree'harmful* the public is informed
through official bull°tins issued from
time to time. In America there iB no
such censorship, and many prepara
tions claiming to restore gray hair are
only temporary dyes that do not go
to the root of the trouble, which is
impoverishment of the hair glandB.
HAY'S HAIR HEALTH in this coun
ary is recognized as the standard re
storative for premateurely gray hair.

a dollar per bottle, or it can be pur

MEASLES ARE
NOT QUARANTINED
Formerly, the State Board of Health,
Said all Such Diseases,
Should Be quar-
antlnsd.
BUT LAW IS CHANGED
Local Case of Little Child Dying and
the Quarantine 8ign Not Being
Usjd, Also a Public
'I Funeral.
Just recently, it has been made
known, that the state board of health
does not require measles to be quar
antined. The little two and one-half
year-old child of Mr. and Mrs. W. J.
Luke, who passed away on Monday
morning about seven o'clock is one
of the first instances to occur in this
city which may be cited. Up until a
recent change made by the state
board of health, it has been customary
to quarantine all measle cases and in
case of death, the law, said that bur
ial must be made within twenty-four
hours.
Now all this is changed, and the
body of a person, dying from a case
of measles, may be held as long as
the family may wish, providing the
uadertaJker and embalmer's instruc
tions are complied with.
In the case of the death of the
little child of Mr, and Mrs. Luke, a
public funeral will be held and no
guarantine was affixed on the house

disease. In

AMUSEMENTS
A more delighted "full house" has
never been assembled before at the
Grand and theatre-goers are today
congratulating Manager D. L. Hughes
on bringing to this city one of the
best attractions that has been seen
here in years, Charles Klein's "The
Third Degree," one of the greatest
American plays of the day. "From the
rise of the curtain until carriages at
the end of the fourth act, the play
witnessed by the 700 proved one, if not
the best, of this character of enter
tainments since Mr. Hughes assumed
management of the Grand, several
years ago.
The play itself is one of heart in
terest to every American, a play rich
in splendor for beautiful stage set
tings, beautiful gowned actresses and
handsomely groomed men, and an all
star cast that is so seldom seen hi
the greater plays. Fernanda Eliscu,
as Anna Jeffries, portrayed faultlessly
one of the most difficult parts in the
theatrical world. Her emotional read
ings, like those of Ralph Ramsey, as
Howard Jeffries, junior, were perfect.
The scene in the first act, set in the
drawing room of Robert Underwood,
was exquisitely beautiful, giving the
"denny" appearance of the American
gentleman's apartments in true repre
sentation. The second and third in
stallments of the play, set in the
library of the law office and the library
of the residence of Attorney Richard
Brewster, was pronounced one of the
handsomest scenes ever shown in the
Keokuk theatre. The finale of the
play in th© fourth installment, ended
one of the prettiest dramas that local
theatre-goers have had the pleasure of
seeing in years, and rivaled in beauty
and perfectness, the author's other
great American play, "The Lion and
the Mouse," which will come to the
Grand later in the season.
Fine Une of Shows Coming.
Henry B- Harris will present the fol
lowing list of excellent attractions at
this theatre: "The Traveling Sales
man." by James Forbes "The Chorus
Lady," by James Forbes, with Rose
Stahl "The Lion and the Mouse," by
Charles Klein "Such a Little Queen,"
by Channing Pollock, with Elsie Fer
guson "The Heights," by William
Anthony McGuire, with Frame Kee
nan Ruth St. Denis in East Indian
Dances Edmund Breese, in "The
Earth," by James Bernard Fagan and
Robert Edeson in "A Man's a Man."
Next season Mr. Harris will produce
the following new plays: "The Com
riiuters," by James Forbes "The Next
of Kin," by Charles Klein, and "An
American Widow," by Kellett Cham
bers.

You will find almost continuous sunshine, a perfectly dry, clear atmos
phere, and an entire absence of chill, damp and rawness, the real troubles
